Feel free to join in and help users if you know your stuff
also get the dev's of whatever green to join as well Whatevergreen has a few issues
Multi-monitor Support is lacking as 2 monitors seems to be the limit for some even if the devs say it's not users say it's true
Some Id's are wrong or missing (hence the nano and 390X not working)
some GPU names are wrong ( which has been reported many times) FOR RYZEN OWNERS with Polaris :

Sierra on Tab!
[DISCONTINUED]
MY TAB'S MOTHERBOARD FRIED!
First of all, I would like to thanks everyone on the Tablets > Samsung section for making OS X on XE700T1C possible, first from Yosemite up to El Capitan. This thread, however, is for Sierra installation, thanks to this thread (and the users there for the help), we gathered some information about our device capabilities and limitation on Sierra:
What works:
Everything but:
What's not working/issues:
PS/2 buttons (volume/rotation/Home buttons) - driver problem, needs kext edits
For some: WiFi disconnections
Wacom Driver (as for now, drivers for Sierra not released yet) They have been released.
Intel Wifi/BT (no need to ask why, check the old threads for this device)
Battery level may (most of the time) be wrong, please check HWMonitor for the real values, somehow macOS reads it wrong, and at some point it may even show "Replace Soon" (LOL).
Battery may be stuck at "Charging" icon if woken up from sleep while being charged and then unplugged, to fix that, replug and unplug the charger.
Before starting, neither me nor insanelymac.com is held responsible if anything goes wrong to your computer, or your cat died because you didn't feed it or a nuclear war. We are here to show you how to do stuff, you do it and take full responsibility of it.
Part 1:
Prepare your Computer:
Before doing anything stupid, BACKUP YOUR FREAKING DATA! Don't come crying at me because you've lost your work files, notes or the secret recipe of Krusty Krab, I'll point my finger at you and laugh to my heart's content (yes, but I warned you, and as they say in arabic: 9ad a3thara man anthar قد أعذر من أنذر) YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
For that, you can use Samsung's tool (if you still have it), Microsoft Windows' tool (under windows 8/10 > File History, or under windows 10 using one of these) or using 3rd party tools like CCC or CloneZilla (open-source and totally free, recommended, backup partitions instead of disk, will help to restore single partitions instead of erasing the whole ssd), and if you're under OS X already, use Time Machine to backup, Linux users know what to do (CloneZilla, Aptik...).
UPDATE your UEFI Firmware to the latest version, using Samsung Update, don't do anything stupid, let the updater do its thing and fulfill its requirements (full battery, no running program ..). May break your device if you do anything stupid here, don't be stupid then (I just solved world stupidity, praise me!).
Prepare your tools:
a OS X/macOS computer/VM (deal with it)
one 8GB USB (or two, second may be small for clover only, recommended, external HDDs will work too)
your ATIV (duh!)
your brain, you can buy one if needed (mostly black markets, watch out: illegal)
optionally, external USB mouse, as the internal one doesnt have scroll feature, blame ELAN for making the USB drivers not close to PS/2 ones
Other than that, prepare yourself mentally, this will be tremendously long you'll pop your eyes out, so do this on a lit room and better in the morning when you're wide-awake, thank me later for that. Make some snakes while you're at it, you'll need them.
Part 2:
Prepare your install - Install!
On your OS X/macOS computer
Download (or build) Clover from here (or build from here)
Download FakeSMC.kext (choose Binaries) toledaARPT.kext (only for AR9280/5 or compatible, optional) for BCM users, refer please to the older thread, must be the same for you, thought I've read that Sierra has some problems with some BCM cards, good luck then :3 Internet is NEEDED later, and AppleALC.kext and lastly HFSPlus.efi
Download PlistEditor (google)
Download macOS Sierra from the AppStore (by now the final release should be already published)
Open Disk Utility and plug your USB stick.
Select Erase > Name it whatever you want > Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) > Scheme : GUID Partition Table (GPT) > ERASE!!!
You better have already saved what was there lol
Select then Partition > hit + > Make a Clover partition of 500MB MS-DOS (FAT) partition and the rest Installer partition with Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Apply
Note 1: for smartasses saying "Why GPT, why not MBR?", A: for some reason El Capitan/Sierra Disk Utility wouldn't let me partition it later on, I don't know what's going on, but only GPT partitioning was permitted, somebody please confirm/fix this. Thanks.
Note 2: for smartasses saying "Why did you make a Clover partition instead of using the existing EFI partition from the GPT formatting", A: having a partition to automount is better than mounting a hidden one each time!
Thou art done with Disk Utility, Thou shalt close it!
Install Clover on the CLOVER (well fat partitions are renamed with capital letters) partition
LEAVE only these folders/files from CLOVER folder:
ACPI
drivers64UEFI
kexts >
Other
misc
ROM
themes
tools
CLOVERX64.EFI
Copy the kexts from 2. in Other folder under kexts.
Copy HFSPlus.efi under driver64uefi and remove VBoxHFS.efi
Download this config.plist (credits @rehabman, also, right click on the link > Save Link As ... > and make sure it ends with .plist NOT .txt, if it doesn't, change the Format under it to All Files, and remove .txt)
Open it with PlistEditor (haha, aint spoilin')
Save and rename it to config.plist then replace CLOVER > EFI > CLOVER > config.plist with this new one.
Open Terminal (I use iTerm, better):
run this
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --volume /Volumes/Installer
Sip some tea, or watch whatever you like (huhuhuuhhuuh), it will take a while (unless you're one of those plebs with ULTRA FAST WHATEVER WHATEVER usb keys)
Once done, close terminal, you're ready to rock!
On your ATIV! (the exciting part)
Boot to your Firmware Setup (aka BIOS Setup, but the name before is the correct one), by using ONE of these methods:
Power off > Press and hold Windows button under the screen > Power On > Once you see the SAMSUNG logo, release the Windows Button > TADAA!
Power off > Press and hold Volume Down button > Power On > Choose "Enter Setup" > TADAA!
Power off > Press repeatedly F2 > Power On [keep pressing] > TADAA!
Power off > Press repeatedly F10 > Power On [keep pressing] > Choose "Enter Setup" > TADAA!
If you're on windows already:
Method 1
Plug a keyboard (dock or usb keyboard)
Click on the power off icon (in the charm bar in win 8.x, in Start in win 10)
Hover on Reboot
Hold Shift while clicking on reboot
You should see "Please Wait"
Method 2
Open Settings
Go to Updates and Recovery (win 8.x) or Update and Security (win 10)
Go to Recovery
Select Advanced Startup
It should start the Advanced menu while showing "Please Wait"
Once done, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings
TADAA!
If you have GRUB2 UEFI> Select System Setup > TADAA!
Once in, do these changes:
Advanced >
Fast BIOS Mode
OFF
USB S3 Wake-up
OFF (you can make it ON, but will drain battery as the dock will stay ON and may also be annoying and has an effect on sleep)
AHCI Mode Control
Auto
Boot >
BIOS Adaptive Brightness
ON/OFF depending on choice (ON to help your eyes at night)
Secure Boot
OFF
OS Mode Selection
UEFI OS
Plug your USB key, hit Save, and furiously keep pressing F10
Now you'll see your USB drive in the BOOT menu, select it, and Clover will start up
Start up macOS Installer (eat a sandwich meanwhile, unless you have those SUPER ULTRA FAST WHATEVER usb keys!)
Open Disk Utility
At this point you can still back up and start saving up your files! LAST WARNING!
Erase your WHOLE SSD (remember that I told you to save your stuff? Now you know why!)
To this point, YOU. ARE. DONE.
Close and Install macOS
Note 1: You'll see it stuck at "One second left" for more than one second (lol), wait until it reboots.
Note 2: If your tablet rebooted after the 1st phase but didnt start the USB key automatically, open the BOOT menu and run clover and start up the Installer, it will resume the Install as it should
Note 3: I forgot to mention this, but you should have common sense without me telling that to you, PLUG YER CHARGER!
Once done, we'll get to the next step.
Part 3: Configure and Fix up your install
Congratulations, you've successfully installed macOS Sierra on your Tab, you can clap now! For now, it's all about your IQ level (hope you have 3 digits, and you should if you made it up to here). Now, finish up your install and first boot, and make sure you're connected to the internet (Internal Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB Dongles... I dont care, deal with it, or you may just do Copy-Pasta from another computer, but that wont help for DSDT, for people experienced in OSx86, you know what you can do if you dont have internet).
Once on your desktop, test the audio:
Go to System Preferences
Go to Sound
Check if you see an Output device, if yes then proceed, if not, reboot again, if still not:
Check your config.plist > Devices > Audio > Inject : 6
Check the kext AppleALC is under kexts > Other and no other folder under kexts but Other.
Power off and boot the device up (cold boot)
Select "Play feedback when volume is changed
Change the volume using the keyboard keys, the buttons on the side wont work (lack of PS/2 drivers)
Check TRIM:
Hold Alt and click on the Apple menu > System Information
Select SATA/SATA Express
Select your drive
Check TRIM Support : Yes in the description
IF NOT:
Open terminal
Type
sudo trimforce enable
Accept and confirm
Wait until the computer reboots (it will take a while, no worries)
SIP and add "Anywhere" to open any app
Disabling SIP
Reboot to recovery
Open terminal
Type in:
csrutil disable
Reboot
Enable "Anywhere" under Security and Privacy to allow foreign/unsigned apps
Open terminal
Type in:
sudo spctl --master-disable
Done
Clover
Open terminal and type: diskutil mount disk0s1
Copy the EFI folder in the USB to the EFI partition, so you'll get a EFI folder inside EFI partiton
Make a folder named BOOT under folder EFI (so EFI > EFI > BOOT), copy CLOVERX64.EFI from CLOVER folder to it, rename it then (in BOOT folder) to BOOTX64.EFI
You'll be able to boot Clover from your SSD
UPDD Rewind
If you want to buy the UPDD software with the gestures and other stuff, head to http://touch-base.com/and order your software for $171.00 or 133.00 Euros (if you're a superrich pleb!). This software will then be updated and supervised by Touch-Base.
If you're broke and want a free (but annoying alternative) follow this:
If you want UPDD to control Wacom digitizer and you dont mind recalibrating it each time, download ONE of these:
Digitizer ignores pen proximity (no hover) LINK
Digitizer reacts to pen proximity (hover) LINK
Q: Why do I have to recalibrate the pen after each reinstall?
A: Because this driver was made initially for Samsung Slate 7 (the father of our Tab 7) and it had only HD screen (not like our FHD one) and so, when you move the pen over the screen it only reacts to the "HD" resolution portion of the screen. This is what I think, correct me if I'm wrong.
if you only want touch with UPDD and want to wait until Wacom releases its driver LINK (this is the driver used by Surface 1 and possibly 2 too) - RECOMMENDED!
Now either way, you have to use some of these tools (made by Automator, not some fancy coding or anything):
Download this file containing the tools: RE:UPDD (huhuhuhuh) (thanks to @thanh for UPDDrewind)
Extract them and throw them in Applications folder
Mount the UPDD dmg, throw the installer under /Library/
Run re-updd and let it do its thing (confirm and type your password when asked)
Notes:
Please go to Part 4 > 7, below before running UPDDrewind
After each reboot (under less than 24 hours from the time of the install) run UPDDrewind, you can add it to autorun at boot by adding it to the list in System Preferences > Users and groups > Your Username > Login items
After each 24 hours of usage, run re-updd, it will reinstall and ask to run the driver program
Reboot (now it should boot from your SSD)
DSDT TIME
On Clover menu, hit F4, then boot normally
Once on the desktop, open MaciASL
Copy patched folder from CLOVER > EFI > CLOVER > ACPI > patched to your Desktop
Copy DSDT.aml and SSDT-0.aml (check that SSDT-0 is SataTabl, how? open it with MaciASL and look for OEM Table ID, id it's not, look into all your SSDTs and get the correct one) to a new directory on your desktop name it patched
Open DSDT.aml
Go to MaciASL > Preferences >

Name: RehabMan repo
URL:
http://raw.github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch/master
Note: You may remove the others, you're free to choose.
iASL > ACPI Specifications : 5.1
Close the Preferences and go to the Patch menu, apply these:
[bat] Samsung Ativ Book 7

For AR9285 only: [wifi] AR9285 WiFi RP02-PXSX : change RP02 in the 5th line to RP01
Download this patch file, click on Open in MaciASL's patch window, select Patch.txt and apply it.
Save your DSDT
Open terminal and copy this (everything):
curl -o ~/ssdtPRGen.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh/Beta/ssdtPRGen.sh && \
chmod +x ~/ssdtPRGen.sh && \
sh ~/ssdtPRGen.sh && \

cp ~/Library/ssdtPRGen/ssdt.aml /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ && \
cp ~/Desktop/patched/* /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ && \
echo "All done."
Hit enter and reboot
Download these kexts (extract them if needed) and put them in Clover > kext > Other (mount your EFI volume using diskutil mount disk0s1):

Reboot.
Part 4: Extras and level up your macOStouch experience:
Congrats again! Now you have a fully functional macOS tablet ... not yet! Why? Cuz it sux! like really! Just try it! Well then, to make it "suck less", we need to fix a number of things (HiDPI -cuz 1080p is ultra smoll-, LaunchPad size and UPDD Gestures fixes/enhancements, also wacom and 3G). ALL THESE ARE OPTIONAL, so:
HiDPI Fix
Open terminal and type:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true
Install and go to Unknown Monitor > Custom Resolutions > + > Scaled Resolution (on top):
Here you can add any "Scaled" resolution.
I recommend 1366x768 HiDPI resolution, so I add a scaled resolution of 2732x1536 as in a retina display resolution (1366*2 and 768*2)
If you want a HiDPI resolution, get the width and heigh, multiply each by two, add it to SwitchResX.
Click on Display (on top bar) and hit Write System settings, then File > Save Settings.
Reboot
LaunchPad 6x3 icons setting:
Open terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.dock springboard-rows -int 3; defaults write com.apple.dock springboard-columns -int 6; defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool TRUE;killall Dock
Result:
For UPDD Guestures:
Get my configuration here: UPDD Settings
You can still use yours, and open UPDD Gestures > Settings
Note: Do not put it on full screen, you'll need to force quit it to use it again (then run UPDDrewind)
Wacom:
Go to Wacom Drivers webpage
Select Bamboo under "All" and download its driver
Install
Reboot
For 3G I didn't test/try, you can always check the Yosemite/El Capitan thread in #1 or #20 for instructions and STARTING from #258 onward to get the new drivers and stuff.
WIP
Annoying Firewire Update
Open terminal and type:
softwareupdate --ignore ThunderboltFirmwareUpdate1.2
Configure re-UPDD and UPDDrewind
re-UPDD: to run it without typing your password (may reveal your password explicitly to anyone knowing how to use Automator)
Open Automator > Open > re-updd.app (or drag-n-drop re-updd on Automator)
Go to "Run Applescript" part
add
password *PUT_YER_PASSWORD_HERE*
after
administrator privileges
Hit the Hammer button above the box to check the syntax
Save
UPDDrewind:
Open it with Script Editor
Change INSERT_PASSWORD_HERE by your mac password (leave the quotes)
Go to File > Export >
File Format: Application
Check Run-only
Save
Now your password wont be explicitly shown for this application, because we made it to run only, no edition/viewing is permitted afterwards.
Delete the source UPDDrewind (if you save it somewhere else)
KeyUP: download and throw in Applications
Brightness:
Download: http://bergdesign.com/brightness/#download
Throw it in Applications
If you're using black theme in macOS, right click on the app > Show Contents > Contents > Resources
Rename:
display_icon.png > display_icon_black.png
display_icon_white.png > display_icon.png
Close and reopen the app.
CodecCommander: Check the posts under this one
You're done!! You can celebrate your intelligence now!
What's still needs to work on:
Though we did all that, there are still parts that wouldn't just work right:
Make UPDDrewind run when it detects that UPDD Gestures is ran
An app to combine both re-updd and UPDDrewind, as they are just scripts and still needs refining (or just one AppleScript for password reasons)
3G/SIM card driver (I just didnt test, still, I'm putting it here)
Fix the battery percentage, as I found that HWMonitor gives a precise percentage, like I have 98% in HWmonitor while the OS reports 100%, 96% in HWmonitor while OS reports 98% (they align at 50% and they diverge again)
100click/24hours for UPDD Driver (meh! but it's annoying to reinstall each time)
VoodooPS2 driver configuration
Microphone may stop working in the middle of work. Workaround: use your headphone with microphone or do a sleep-wake cycle.
These are not in any given order, and they all matter to the smooth work on our devices.

RehabMan has been hard at work and has created a much better, more reliable method for both current and possibly future OS X installs. His new method, named the "hotpatch" method is far superior to our old ones and should rightfully take its place. Following is a direct link to his detailed and extensive guide to assist both current and future users with their adventures in OS X. Should you find success using his method, please remember to say THANKS for his work and to possibly add to his growing repository to hopefully assist future users in their own success stories.

Hello I installed sierra on my laptop but i cant fix a problem. HDMI dont work. if i put on, the lcd and monitor start to blink. If i close laptop and open, monitor ok but lcd stay brigness 0. i cant seee nothing. I add a video for see the problem.
Thank you. EDIT: The problem was with the tipe of connector. It put me connector-type <00 04 00 00> but I need <00 08 00 00>. Im try to patch via CLOVER but dont work ... debug_14911.zip

I vanilla installed Sierra, using CHris1111's USB installer and Realtek81xx.kext and Voodoo.pkg. Everything works fine except shutdown .
Need some help there.
I discovered that when I close alle windows and log off (and in again) and immediately {censored} down it works oké. But when open a app and shutdown, the led keeps burning and the fans keep turning.
Under Mavericks I used a edited DSDT. Will this work under Sierra as well? Since I'm new to Clover ... what do I have to do to make the DSDT working?
Anyone familiar with this problem (and solution)?
grtz

Hi,
I am rather new to the hackintosh scene. and being new I need quite a bit of help.
My dilemma is that I cannot get 10.12 to boot without errors. Clover is a pain to configure for my setup. And lastly, post-installations always break the install.
What I am asking for is help to get me up and running with Sierra on my rig.
My specs (will add to profile sig):
ASUS P8Z68-V LX
Intel Core i5-2500K (SANDYBRIDGE)
Integrated GPU (HD 3000)
4GB Kingston HyperX Blu
Currently I am using a VGA setup but I should receive a set of DVI cables tomorrow.
I would like to add that others with the same setup have gotten 10.12 Sierra working but for whatever reason I seam unable to.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Mohamed

2016 is here, and what we can expect about Apple's WWDC of this year?
Well, research and expectations about the new Apple OS X are already growing.
The web public call OS X 10.12 of "Fuji", hmmm, maybe there is something wrong, because since Mavericks, Apple choose California locations for nominate their systems.
Beyond the new name, perhaps we have in OS X the following new features:
Siri - We expected this since El Capitan
A native Swift app for devs
New filesystem, a replacement for the HFS+
More integration with others Apple's systems, e.g: Apple Watch, iOS and Apple TV
Well this is what we know per hour.
But and you guys?
What do you know and want to see in this new OS X?
Please share with us

This is the simplest barebones macOS Sierra 10.12 feasibility test for UEFI x64 Skylake Architectures (possibly others too).
The purpose of this tutorial is to give you a starting point for fiddling with your installation in order to make it work on your to-be Hackintosh computer. It's much easier to tweak an external USB or HDD on your real Mac, rather than failing your Hackintosh's internal HDD installation every time you try something new.
A) Download macOS Sierra from the App Store on your Mac.

I'm having a problem, when I was installed OS Sierra o my laptop Acer Aspire E5 574G the video is almost ok, just one problem that is when i open the Intellij IDEA or other IDE based on it. the screen start to flick at some points, i don't know if its related to the IDEA or related to JDK, I think is IDE because at Eclipse IDE it isn't happening. other thing is that I see one small area flickering on top left corner.

Hi all,
I have a Dell Optiplex 780 Desktop that I turned into a Hackintosh. Everything is okay so far, other then a few things;
I cannot buy a Wifi adapter at this point in time because my router is far away from my Hackintosh and long range adapters are very expensive, far more then I want to spend. I have a MGM Electronics WiFi USB (Part number 831-3397) laying around, is it compatible with macOS Sierra? It worked on Windows 7 when it was installed.
I also created my installer with a universal beast that is titled 7.0.1, and the Clover version is 3766. I have a bunch of kexts and configs that do not work well with the latest version on Clover, and when booting, sends me into a kernel panic. Is there anyway I can install 3766 to my HDD, or do I have to use a new set of configs? I used this setup: CLOVER.zip
Can someone help me install Clover to my hard drive and have these files work for it?
Thank you all so much in advance

Hi guys
I am currently facing some problems here
I got a tower with:
MSI Z170A SLI PLUS board
G.Skill 32GB DDR4 Memory
Intel i5 6500 Overclocked to 4.51GHz
Gainward GTX 1060 6GB
Here is the BIOS files I am using
Windows are working extremely fine here, stable temperature, no thermal throttling
Ubuntu also works after disabing c-state in grub using
intel_idle.max_cstate=0
I cannot seems to get macOS 10.12 working with the overclocked chip, macOS works complete fine without overclock
The symptoms are the same if I didn’t add the boot argument in Linux, no USB, No hard drive, no signal output from monitor, no nothing
The question is:
How do I disable C State complete while CLOVER executing the EFI file?
seems it's a Darwin/Unix/Linux Kernel limitation.
Thanks a lot
Update: Solved, see post #10
